47 x 42 1/2 in 119.5 x 108 cm
Edition of 58
Victory over Death is a striking 2008 photogravure etching by Damien Hirst, meticulously enhanced with hand-applied gouache colour. Measuring an impressive 47 by 42 and a half inches, this substantial work demonstrates Hirst's masterful command of traditional printmaking techniques combined with his signature visual language. The piece is signed by the artist on the front and numbered on the reverse, confirming its authenticity and limited edition status. This work represents a significant period in Hirst's career when he was exploring themes of mortality and transcendence through classical printmaking methods. The combination of photogravure's rich tonal depth with vibrant hand-colouring creates a unique tension between mechanical reproduction and individual artistic intervention. As a signed and numbered edition from one of contemporary art's most collected figures, this piece offers collectors an accessible entry point into Hirst's oeuvre whilst maintaining investment quality.
